Hazards and emergencies

Cooling centers

Menlo Park has air-conditioned facilities where you can escape the heat. This always includes both libraries and recreation center facilities during regular operating hours and during designated cooling center hours

Infectious Diseases

The City of Menlo Park continue to take action to reduce public health risks to our community, program participants, employees and facilities.

Earthquakes

California is the highest earthquake risk area in the contiguous United States, with several large active faults that run through the state, such as the San Andreas, Hayward and others.

Excessive heat

Extremely hot weather can result in heatstroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, sunburn, heat rash, and in some instances death. Please take safety measures to stay safe and lend a helping hand to family, friends and neighbors.

Power outages

Power outages can occur for a variety of reasons including earthquakes, severe storms, increased demand or public safety power shutoff. Putting together a power outage plan now can help protect your health and safety in the event of a power failure.

Storms and flooding

Are you ready for the next storm? You should know the potential for flooding or flash flooding in your neighborhood.

Fire Hazards

If you see or smell smoke in the immediate area, limit or avoid outdoor activity, including exercise.
